My brother was creative, fun, caring and kind. He also lived with schizophrenia. I'm constantly struck by how infrequently we hear about stories like his. So I told the one I know. @WalesOnline walesonline.co.uk/news/wales…

'My brother took his own life - we need to talk about illnesses like his'

Many people experience schizophrenia and psychosis but we rarely hear their stories

Recently I went undercover working at a door-to-door sales operation. I'd heard claims of exploitation and cult-like practices, so I got a job there to investigate Wearing a hidden camera I gathered evidence of lies, pressure-selling and a network of linked offices around the UK

'We are now a team defined by its present, not its past. Our story is not of near misses, of heartache and regrets. As a nation we have been redefined, reborn and reawakened' My take on Wales’ exit from the World Cup nation.cymru/sport/its-the-e…

It’s the end of the World Cup as we know it (and I feel fine)

David Owens After all the decades of waiting, after all the near misses and perpetual heartache, it was over. In a blink of an eye, through 64 years of waiting, it came and went. The smallest nation...

Wait did Tom Bradby try to recreate his “what is going on in the House of Commons?” meme?!?

“There will be no going back from our policy of setting fire to everything. The fires are not the fault of us setting fire to everything, they’re the fault of the firefighters who have panicked by bringing all that water.”

Tonight, some poor sod will sit outside Cardiff Castle waiting in line for the King to arrive tomorrow afternoon. That poor sod is me.

Most of these companies announcing closures on Monday pay people by the hour. Ergo, this isn't a paid holiday. Would all these workers really prefer to lose a day's pay to sit at home watching the telly while so many struggle with bills and costs?

Imposing compulsory mourning is medieval and will backfire. Sports, etc shouldn't be cancelled so people are free to go or not. Blanket TV(with zero debate) risks nosediving ratings, repeating the Duke of Edinburgh when Channel 4 pulled most viewers by keeping Gogglebox.

My colleagues do great things and I’m proud of every one of them. They deserve to feel the value they create is recognised by their employer and rewarded with fair consolidated pay. That’s the only way we hold on to these talented, passionate people. #NUJReachStrike #FairPayNow

The murder of 18-year-old Lily Sullivan by Lewis Haines has not prompted a huge amount of coverage, but the sheer casualness of this 31-year-old man's evil is terrifying. A man who killed a woman because she rejected him. These are the words read in court from Lily's mum Anna:
